A Tour/Visit

Willow knew it was the right time. She knew he felt the same. "That's really nice of you to say, Nicolae. And, I have something to tell you....." she hesitated. "Well, when you came up to me in my barn, I felt like I'd known you for the longest time. You seemed like a cat that I could get to know and a cat that I could really be friends with. When we started talking and you offered to show me around your home, here, I knew we were connecting better than ever. I hope I'm not coming on too strongly or anything, but I've felt like this ever since you padded up to me. I have feelings for you, Nicolae. You're one of the best cats I've ever met. You're sweet, kind, and have a great sense of humor. If you don't feel the same, I understand, and I hope this won't change our friendship if you don't feel the same, but now I feel I can rest knowing you know my secret that I've kept for the short time we've known each other." Willow felt she was babbling when she revealed her secret to Nicolae. She sat there, patiently awaiting an answer from the cat she admired most. Well, I did it. I know he feels the same, I just know it! But, will he come out and say it? she thought to herself, not knowing if what she had just said was worth her friendship with him. Please let him feel the same!

OOC: *sigh* we have a two hour delay today, but it's, like, the same as yesterday so school should be closed!

IC:Nicolae's ears angled forward at Willow's words, and his eyes glowed. Standing up, he stepped out of his nest and padded the few pawsteps between him and Willow. He leaned down and touched his nose to her cheek.
A purr rumbled up from his throat. "What did I just say? If I had the opportunity to be with a cat like you, I would take it. You just described my feelings for you. So we're obviously made for each other; you can read my mind."
Nicolae'd never thought seriously about having a mate before. He'd never been interested. But now it seemed like it was the most certain thing in the world. He wondered what would have happened if he'd passed by that barn, or just looked the other way and missed seeing her. Would there have been another chance? It didn't matter. He had looked, and now Willow was here with him.
"You're going to stay here, then, right? Whatever's mine is yours." Nicolae meowed, gesturing at the den and beyond with his tail.

OOC: We were cancelled yesterday, woo! But, sadly, today we had to go to school, but I left early because I'm still really sick .

"Absolutely! You don't think I would just leave you here all alone to suffer!" Willow replied with a purr arising from her chest as well as Nicolae's. "You wouldn't mind if I paid a visit every now and then back to my barn? It's going to be hard to adjust to a new, fancy home like this, but if it means I'm with you, I'll go anywhere." She had always considered having a mate, especially when she lived so close to her almost-mate, Barley. She had always thought Barley had been the one for her, but that special moment when Nicolae spotted her in her barn, she knew it was not Barley, but Nicolae all along. Nicolae was that "special" cat. Willow was barely able to contain her excitement. Oh my...what if I had never seen him? What if he would've just walked right past me without noticing me? Quickly, she pushed the ugly thought out of her mind. None of that mattered. All that mattered was that her and Nicolae had found each other and they were meant to be together.

"Ha, fancy? Nah, this is far from fancy," Nicolae purred. "You should see those 'Clan's' territories. I've only seen one of their camps once. But talk about organization! There're, like, different groups of cats each with their own den... Yeah, really a lot of thought was put into their homes. Have you ever run across a 'Clan' cat? They're not too friendly I've found.."
"Anyway, of course you can visit that old barn of yours! I should show you the boundaries of my territory tomorrow. Does that sound good with you? We could go early, or late, whichever you want."
Having a life-long companion to keep him company filled Nicolae with a contentment he hadn't known he'd been missing. And Willow seemed more than perfect for the job.

Willow got lost in his eyes. "Well, Nicolae, I suppose I could allow you to show me your territory. By the way, yes, I have run into some 'Clan' cats before, but I've found some of them quite friendly. Actually, when I was a kit, a Clan named PastureClan found me and took me in for a while, but I didn't like how things were run there, so I escaped one night when everyone else was sleeping. I don't think they bothered to come find me." replied Willow, with a hint of sadness in her voice. As far back as she could remember, she felt very satisfied with the kindness of PastureClan and how they tended to her in her desperate time of need. She would always remember them, but she felt that the life of a loner was exactly what she needed. Although I call myself a loner, I won't be so lonely now that I've found Nicolae. she thought to herself with ease. "Well, I'm awfully tired Nicolae. Do you think you could show me where my sleeping place will be?" she meowed, stiffling a yawn after the sentence.
